Maxtor and OCing

I'm having a hell of a time finding a hard drive for my system... I'm looking for a 7200 RMP ATA66 hard drive. I found a Maxtor drive at Staples, and I was wondering how well it will perform at odd PCI clocks, like between 30 and 40 MHz? Thanks guys.

hey rgwalt,
you might wanna consider going with a nice ibm drive. they're supposed to be the **** when it comes to o/c'ing. not sure how much they cost though. i just would be awfull leary of those maxtors though. they don't have a very good rep w/the o/c'ers

I considered going with an IBM drive, until I looked at the prices. They are good drives, but couldn't find one with the specs I was looking for that was in stock. I have an IBM drive in another machine that I can always swap if I have problems with the Maxtor.
